/diy/ - Do It Yourself

Last completed one. This was more of a proof of concept. It's my first dagger. Made it to give away, didn't even sharpen it as I am leaving it to whom i give it to. Aluminum handles again. Hollow pins using some random stainless steel tubing.

The handles on this wound up way to thick since aluminum sucks to grind.

Well thats it for now. Currently working on a Nakiri for a friend, but im stuck right now cause we are in 30 below temps here in Canada.

Hope y'all enjoyed seeing my progress. I enjoy kitchen knives more because they actually get used.

5160 isn't the greatest steel, but its free and it seems to work good enough for now. My knives don't go through any torture tests.
